SOLAS

SOLAS, or the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, is a global agreement established by the International Maritime Organization to ensure ships are designed, built, and maintained safely. It sets standards for ship construction, life-saving equipment, navigation, and emergency procedures to protect crew and passengers. By complying with SOLAS, ships improve safety at sea, reducing accidents and enhancing maritime safety worldwide. It is a key regulation that helps prevent loss of life by promoting best practices and consistent safety standards across international shipping.
